Mysore/Mysuru: Narasimharaja Congress MLA Tanveer Sait has urged Chief Minister Siddharamaiah to reconsider the decision of increasing electricity charges, though the rates have been implemented by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) with retrospective effect.
In a letter to the CM on June 11, Tanveer Sait has said that the steep increase in electricity rates has left the people of the State bewildered. “Against this backdrop, people are expressing their disappointment at the State Government and power supply companies. Traders in various districts have been protesting against the hike and as such, the CM must conduct a re-evaluation of the tariff hike and take necessary actions,” he wrote.
